    S3E6: Next Level DevOps with Python
    Nov 12 2025
    From Cover to Code — S3E6: Next-Level DevOps with Python

    In this Season 3 finale, Angela and Michael close out "Hands-On Python for DevOps" with an in-depth conversation about Chapter 13 — "The Tools to Take Your DevOps to the Next Level". They explore advanced automation techniques, real-world monitoring strategies, and modern troubleshooting workflows that help teams scale their DevOps practices with confidence.

    The hosts dig into step functions, observability stacks, event-driven operations, and the growing role of AI tools that support high-velocity engineering teams. They also reflect on the biggest lessons from this season — from infrastructure automation to MLOps — and how the themes of the book connect to their day-to-day work as practitioners and creators.

    Beyond the chapter, Angela and Michael share updates on AfroTech, community highlights, upcoming podcast projects, and the exciting future of "From Cover to Code" as they prepare for Season 4.

  • S3E5: Python for MLOps, DataOps, and Infrastructure as Code

    S3E5: Python for MLOps, DataOps, and Infrastructure as Code
    Oct 25 2025
    Angela Andrews and Michael Jenkins continue their journey through *Hands-On Python for DevOps* with a deep dive into Chapters 11 and 12 — exploring how Python bridges the gap between data science, operations, and infrastructure management.

    This episode connects the dots between MLOps, DataOps, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) — showing how Python’s simplicity and versatility make it an essential tool for automating data workflows, deploying machine learning models, and defining infrastructure reproducibly.

    Expect lively discussion, insightful quotes, and practical takeaways from real-world DevOps experience.

    Book Chapters Covered

    - Chapter 11: MLOps and DataOps
    - Chapter 12: Python and Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

    Video & Podcast Chapters

    00:00 Welcome and Episode Setup
    03:00 The Future Is Now – AI and Career Differentiation
    06:30 Why Python Dominates DataOps and MLOps
    10:45 Working with Data and the Power of Pandas
    14:15 The Three V’s of Data Complexity: Velocity, Volume & Variety
    19:30 Streaming Data and Real-Time Processing with Flink and Pandas
    25:00 AI Evolution and How Tech Books Keep Up
    32:30 Understanding Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
    36:00 Salt vs Ansible vs Terraform SDK – Python in IaC Tools
    43:30 Community Shout-Outs and Next Episode Preview

    Key Takeaways

    - Python is the universal connector between DevOps, DataOps, and MLOps — powering automation, analytics, and infrastructure.
    - The Three V’s (Velocity, Volume, Variety) define modern data challenges; Python libraries like Pandas and Flink help manage them efficiently.
    - Infrastructure as Code (IaC) transforms how teams manage cloud resources — codifying provisioning, replication, and scaling for AWS, Azure, and GCP.
    - Tools like Terraform + Ansible deliver the perfect one-two punch for deployment and configuration.
    - Even as AI-assisted coding evolves, foundational knowledge still matters. Understanding the “nuts and bolts” ensures better troubleshooting and design.
    - The hosts reflect on enduring classics like "UNIX in a Nutshell" and discuss how agile digital publishing keeps technical learning relevant.
